Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux May Be Forced To Pursue Fights at 126, Says Manager

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Alex Bornote, manager for former world champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (17-0-1, 11 KOs), believes his boxer will now have a very difficult time securing fights at 122-pounds - after getting stripped of his WBA world title. Rigondeaux moved up by two weight division last month, and was stopped in the sixth round by WBO super featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko.

At 126? I don't think he'll be ducked.

And what network will televise him? The quitter lable will be very difficult to shake.

Roc Nation is worthless, he should just sign with Al and get into the mix with his stable of featherweights. Considering how weak the division is, Rigo should clean up.

Unless he's completely shot, I don't see Santa Cruz, Mares, Frampton, Valdez posing too many problems for him. I could see him giving them all fits, maybe Russell would be a competitive fight at least.

He won't be ducked out of fear but what's to gain in fighting him? Nothing.

I feel for the dude, RN is just all wrong for him and most boxers infact. It's not about insane risk but that seems to be the trend with Roc Nation. They need to get a whole team of boxing gurus who know their stuff, know how to work an unknown or barely loved/hated fighter into the emotions of the fans.

Love him or hate him, Arum is still the best at building fighters.

At 40 yrs old its safe to say the cuban amatuer will never be in the boxing hall of fame

If Rigo wouldn't quit he would get fights at 126. But now there is no money in fighting him.

If that were true then he would of made Rigo a star after the nonito fight but instead he didn't want to pay Rigo, he made Rigo go up two divisions, he destroyed his career & made sure the media spit on him followed by a certain fan base like casuals....what bob has is connections to place whatever agenda he wants....That's not building, that's lying....building a fighter is teaching him things in & out the ring....
